HUGE NEWSfor all my composer friends & students!!! Finale - the venerable music notation sytem I have been using since 1989 - is being discontinued! You can read all about it in the linked article but I whoelheartedly endorse DORICO as a very worthy successor. I made the switch over the summer and wasn't planning to go back to Finale anyway. However, if you are a Finale user, they are going to make it easier for you to make the switch in terms of pricing and tech support. Still...it's the end of an era! Bittersweet day for this composer. Excuse me now...I need to start converting all my Finale files into .xml format!
MakeMusic ends development and availability of Finale; partners with Steinberg to sell Dorico directly - Scoring Notes
